“It *could be* *Potentilla atrosanguinea*.” from Umesh ji. “Most likely *Potentilla argyrophylla var. atrosanguinea* (if leaves have 3 leaflets) Geum elatum also has similar flowers which are yellow or sometimes red. Leaves are different there.” from Tabish ji. “Agree with Tabish Ji” from Balkar ji. "Perhaps lower leaves have to be investigated. *The leaves seen look much different from larger, silky, cut leaflets of atrosanguinea*." from Singh ji. "Gurcharan ji, the last picture is the only photo showing long shot. The original sized picture can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/7813169942/sizes/o/in/photostream/though I am afraid it covers lower leaves. Apologies for not covering the basal leaves - perhaps due to intent of covering more distance and more plants. Regards. Dinesh" "*I thought it as Potentilla atrosanguinea*. Can't say anything more as the discussion has reached beyond my knowledge Dr Satish Phadke" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> Date: 19 August 2012 12:47 Subject: [efloraofindia:124677] DV :: 02 AUG 12 - 0825 :: red ¿ Potentilla ? at Valley of Flowers To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> [image: Valley of Flowers]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7795632618%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfiscXcV1ezkljkoVaSBkd-7VO2FQ> 2 AUG 12 Valley of Flowers ... about 11000 - 12000 ft ------------------------------ Dear friends, ID please. *Habitat*: sloping meadow *Habit*: erect herb about 75 cm high, flower 20 - 25 mm across [image: ¿ Potentilla ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7813177786%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfYwOm_iqH2BAnBGkUM8XWuQXBmbA> [image: ¿ Potentilla ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7813173756%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfkLevJrix8pQ2uNHE7gmLRD2wPUg> [image: ¿ Potentilla ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7813185186%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzcvrr8vA6p4j4RhtJzrQWJxLyuVdQ> [image: ¿ Potentilla ?]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7813169942%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzf8vyCUOl94Fp5NLiIpE9z83yUy5A> Regards.
